❔ Structure of heap-allocated Object in C# (Method-Table especially).
Asking for the structure of a .NET object in memory. I know that it starts with the address of the method table, after that you have all the field vlaues of the object.
However I would like to know more about the method table especially. The information I found online seem to be incomplete or contradict each other.

I am personally not well versed in .NET internals. All I know is that the object management on the heap is treated as a black box
Have you seen the official CIL ECMA tho?

I don't think this one talks much about the memory layout of an object
but more about the IL and things around that
@OneWholesomeDev do you know someone who has more experience?
You can hop over to #allow-unsafe-blocks
That's your best bet
thanks
